The human face is like that because of millions of muscle fibers, not because it's made out of hot dog meat. If it was really living then it would just wither and rot away because it has no real vascular system; there's nothing to feed it and there's nothing to take its waste away and repurpose it. More yellow journalism for I heccing love science bazinga brains, forget Gell-Mann Amnesia, this is Gell-Mann triumphalism.

In the image, in very small letters,

taking inspiration from real skin ligaments,

Seems like it's just worded in a way to sound like they made a robot with actual biological skin, when it's not the case at all and the writers are fully aware of it.

The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human — sweat, bad breath, everything.

Still less horrific than the neuron organoids

The "it's not a human brain in a jar it's nothing to worry about" comments were really confident in their understanding of consciousness as an emergent property, the boundary of which is difficult to define. The subjective experience of a bunch of human neurons hacked together to work as a "computer" is basically impossible to know

Obviously I don't think it'd have the potential for like a human like intelligence but like if you're making something the size and complexity of llike a mouse brain I could see it having mouse like potential to feel suffering. Especially when negative stimuli are used to "train" it

Yes exactly. It's the dismissal of potential ethical concern of something we actually have no clue what it's capacity for suffering is. I know that thoughts exist because I think them. Does a bee or a worm or a rat or a pigeon have thoughts? Maybe. Can we realistically even find out? We can't ask. Does that make it ok to kill it torture or harm? Probably not.

Sounds like the title of a book meant to make your grandma confuse it for an Asimov novel so she gives you that as a present instead and you have to pretend to be I to it

Panic! At the Man-made Horrors Beyond My Comprehension

That’s not skin, that’s the same material as the candy hamburgers.

I'd submit this for an emote, but there's only a couple hours left.
